Bible Question:
This is still for you Joe and to others who want to share their ideas! This is in regard with my second question, "are we ought to obey all the ten or just a part of it?" For you personally do you agree that the 4th commandment has been done away? Then what about Matthew 5:18 "Till heaven and earth pass,one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled." and in James 2:10 "Whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." From this text its very clear that breaking one of the commandments makes one a commandment breaker. Is their any text from the Bible that tells the 4th commandment has been done away, abolished if that's the right word to say or is it being put aside because its contrary to ones will? Why is it that its just so easy to agree when it comes to the 6 down to 10 commandments? Is the doing way of the 4th commandment Jesus's teaching or just a mere precept and thinking of men? |
Bible Answer: Colossians 2:14 says that Christ cancelled the written code, having nailed it to the cross. In Hebrews 7:17-22, the author states that Christ, as High Priest of the New Covenant, set aside the old because it was weak and useless. It was given to the Jews by God to demonstrate humanity's inability to live according to rules. Now he has written the true law of God on our hearts and minds! In Matt. 5:17, jesus said that HE had come to fulfill the law and the Prophets, so when He said, "It is finished!", He meant that fulfillment had come! In Hebrews 1, Jesus is said to be better than, creation, angels and prophets. Do you want to live under the condemnation of the old covenant or in the victory and peace of the new where we can come to God with confidence at His throne, the throne of grace! Besides, Christians have been breaking the Sabbath every week for almost 2000 years! The Sabbath is from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday! And james is talking about someone trying to go back under the law. The question is not IF we have broken the Law but have we EVER kept it! |
